6.0
Strong controls, cunning puzzles, and a surprisingly solid story offset a disconnected soundtrack and steep learning curve. It’s not bad, then – but in shooting for the stars, this release ends up tepidly hovering somewhere in the stratosphere.
Constant C

About
In the year 1905, Albert Einstein published the theory of special relativity, suggesting that nothing could move faster than the speed of light. What if any mortal could break that constant? Stretch it beyond its limits? Would human beings finally be able to find a way to cheat death and win over immorality? Or is it Chaos that follows the manipulation of time and gravity? Constant C is a 2D puzzle platformer with two core gameplay mechanics - Gravity Shifting and the Time Field. Using these two mechanics in the game, the player controls the momentum of various objects to complete each level.

Critic reviews
- 6.0Constant C is a solid puzzle platformer that takes a few familiar ideas and mashes them together to create something partially new. The difficulty of the puzzles ranges from trivial to diabolical, with most falling somewhere in between. Its greatest sin is the repetition of certain puzzles, but if that is the worst aspect of Constant C, then it should still please fans of the genre.
- Combine that with extremely difficult puzzle design and a fluctuating difficulty curve and Constant C proves to be a very unrefined endeavor. Controlling gravity is fun and the game’s charming art design is well worth noting, but Constant C never gives the player a sense of command over its design, leaving puzzles that rely more on careless experimentation than thought-provoking logic to solve.
- 7.0Puzles bien estructurados y de una dificultad (sobre todo a partir de la segunda mitad del título) exigente es lo que nos depara esta aventura para PC y Xbox 360. No es la más imaginativa ni tampoco la más cautivadora que hemos probado últimamente, pero posee la entidad y el gancho suficiente como para atraer a los aficionados al género. Aún así, podría haber dado más de sí.
